The cover blurb:

"From bestselling author Terry Lovelace, Esq, DEVILS DEN: THE RECKONING begins with candid memories from a lifetime or experiences with ETs. He recalls early childhood abductions and his interactions with a hybrid entity he called "Sue." THE RECKONING is all new facts, images and content never before shared with the public. It tells the true story of the sad decline and mysterious death of Tobias. It includes a chapter that had been excluded from "Incident at Devils Den ..." that tells the poignent experiences of Terry’s cousin Gerald who endured his own childhood ET visitations and an eventual tragic outcome. Also, the true tale of Terry and his friend Ernest, who at eight years of age "borrowed" dad's handgun in an illconceived plan to shoot dead the ETs that terrified him in his room at night. 

"Plus, recent revelations from Betty are disclosed and the December 8th "disclosure" from a retired Israeli general and academic, Haim Eshed, is discussed.THE RECKONING gives details and anectdotal evidence of an abduction from Terry's Dallas home on April 16, 2019 at 5:55 AM. Color photographs of UFOs taken near his home and satellite images of their 1977 campsite at Devild Den State Park in NW Arkansas are also included.THE RECKONING shares 30 short narratives presented as numbered "Cases" #1 through #30. 

"These are stories distilled from 1,400+ emails submitted by readers of INCIDENT AT DEVILS DEN in the US, South Africa and Australia. Each narrative shares a unique and poignant telling of the reader's own encounter with the unknown. There are tales of screen memories and missing time, a stolen fetus, UFO sightings, mind control and alien abductions. Each story is told in the experiencer's words and vetted for veracity. Most are a compilation of many emails and telephone calls to establish the contributor's credibility. This is a collection of the best of the best from 1,400 stories shared by readers of "Incident at Devils Den ...."

" Below is a brief synopsis of the introduction to Case #1, "The Christmas Store," shared by a widowed retiree who goes by "Olivia."Dear Mr. Lovelace,My late husband Paul and I had an experience in March of 1968. I've never shared this story with anyone other than my sister and Paul's parents. I was a housewife and Paul was a nephrologist (a kidney doctor) who worked in private practice. We had friends in Reno, Nevada and about every month we'd make the drive from Vegas to Reno to share a weekend with friends. We always stopped in a little town called Tonopah about half-way to Reno. We'd stretch a bit, get fuel and have dinner. It was called "The Stagecoach." I believe it's still there. On this night we were three hours later than usual because Paul had been tied up at the hospital. After dinner and fuel we got back on the road about 9:00 PM and headed for Reno. About 10 miles out of town we were surprised to see a new store. It was a Christmas store. I had never before seen a store solely devoted to the holiday. The store appeared to be open as there was brilliant white light pouring out of the windows. The whole structure was draped in Christmas tree lights in assorted colors, some blinking and others not. I asked Paul to pull over. We were both mesmerized. He pulled onto the shoulder directly in front of the store. It sat back from the road a ways and the lights were incredible. It was odd. There was no parking lot! It was just sand and sagebrush. We saw no other cars, but someone was inside because we could see motion and movement through the windows. Paul noted there was no driveway for an entrance. I remarked, "Who would build a store without an egress or a parking lot?" We sat on the shoulder of the highway in front of the store for some minutes until Paul said, "This is a waste of time," and he pulled back onto the road. Because my husband worked so many hour we usual spent time during the drive to just chat and catch up on things. But not this night. This night was very different...."

Yes, I did buy this follow up book. Yes, I feel that I wasted my money. I will keep this shorter than my review for Incident At Devil's Den.

Basically, this book just goes over what we were told in the previous work. A few little tid-bits are thrown in that adds absolutely nothing to the abduction account. We are told about his time lapse during his motorcycle ride (from the previous book). Humans working with aliens, aliens that are allowed under the Truman Agreement to kill a few humans and cattle for blood or food and constantly breaking that agreement, bases on the far side of the Moon and I was getting a serious Alternative 3 vibe here -in case you are too young to remember that:

The added disclosures mentioned are what his little alien friend 'Sue'/'Betty' and I cannot include dream state conversations as evidence in any form. Some of the book seemed almost "coming of age" dramaesque.  In fact by page 135 Lovelace has dealt with his story. From pp 137-361 we have the accounts of other persons and these are all simply filler. Yes, nice to read a story but these could be from hoaxers, people with mental health issues and so on. With no investigation Lovelace could have made these up himself and the two accounts that do have photos of people could be two plucked from a family album. 

As for Lovelace's photos of helicopters following him home and the 'UFO' photos...no. I was giving a benefit of a doubt with the first book but this one jumps head first into pop abduction culture and no doubt people will accept and believe without question and the lack of evidence (especially of the fact that Toby his abduction pal existed) leaves me consigning this to the possible Ruth Syndrome or fiction. It is one or the other and I was not there to observe Lovelace and all I can base my conclusion on it on 47 years investigation, study and my guts.

Oh, you may have interest piqued by that "The Reckoning" in the book title. There is no reckoning.

But you decide.
